Snow Leopard Static Mapper - Version 1.1

July 2 2011, 5:13 PM by Mike Boylan

In response to a thread on the Mac OS X Server mailing list, I took it upon myself to write a small application that can assist Mac OS X Server administrators in creating static DHCP mappings to be imported into Server Admin.

This application was written to be a Snow Leopard compatible replacement for Scott Finney's "Leopard Static Map Importer". The functionality is the same with the only difference being the exported plist is able to be imported into a Snow Leopard server. The code base is my own. Scott had nothing to do with this project nor does this imply any endorsement from Scott as a replacement for his application.

The application is lightweight and was written in AppleScript Objective-C.

Version 1.1 can be downloaded here and resolves an issue where certain input files would result in no modified plist being exported:

Please read the included Read Me file for more information and for how to contact me to report bugs.

Feedback is heavily welcomed. If this helps you, please let me know!

If you came here from the mailing lists... the build I posted to the lists was actually static "Mappper" with three P's! An extra feature! It works the same, but if the extra P annoys you, download the new build above.

Hi Tony,

I have not tried it. Feel free to try it in a VM and let me know. I might be able to dig up the code and take a look if not. It's been a long time since I touched this application.
